From The Cumberland Pacquet, Thursday. January 30, 1902 posted with permission of the transcriber, Diane Moore. Geo. ********** THE TERRORS OF COCKERMOUTH. The brothers MORGAN, Patrick, Henry, and James, appeared on charges of having been drunk and disorderly. Henry's case had been adjourned from last week to see if he would take the pledge.--The Clerk (addressing Henry): Well, have you taken the pledge?--Henry: I took it this morning. (Laughter.)--Colonel SEWELL: Why did you delay so long?--Henry: I did not know where to go.--The Clerk: Had you any liquor last week?--Henry: Only two pints.--Superinten- dent GRAHAM: He has had some drink this morning.--Henry: No, I have not.--The Clerk: Has Patrick taken the pledge too?--Patrick: Yes.--The pledges, which were on illuminated cards, were handed to the magistrates.--The case of Henry was adjourned for one month to see how he behaves. Patrick and James were each sent to prison for one month. Colonel SEWELL said the neighbourhood was disturbed by these MORGANS. If they appeared here again extreme measures would have to be taken. **********
